In the qualitative stage, the field research was used and in the quantitative stage, the survey method was used. In the qualitative stage, the study population is curriculum specialists who were selected by purposive sampling of 10 specialists. Data collection tools were semi-structured interviews that were analyzed with the underlying theory strategy. In the quantitative stage, the study population is curriculum specialists and preschool teachers. The sample size was selected according to Cochran's formula, for specialists by stratified random sampling method, 28 female specialists, 44 male specialists and for the community of trainers by cluster random sampling method, 159 people were selected. Data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose reliability was 0.84 by Cronbach's alpha method and face and content validity was used. Chi-square test was used to analyze the data. The results of qualitative research, identification and extraction of components of the integrated curriculum model were proposed in order to provide a theoretical model and the results of quantitative research were performed to confirm the results of qualitative research.
